I don't want to be perceived as hatin,' but nothing about Nathan Lane says Gomez Addams to me.

I gotta agree with Flippy.

Apparently he's more like the original comic strip Addams.

Since when?

(Ok, I'm not an expert on the comic strip ... but I'm quasi-familiar with it, and Nathan Lane ain't anything like any Gomez I've ever read, seen, heard or smelled.)

That's not to say he couldn't be fantastic in the role.

I've long since learned to ignore the "oh he's so wrong for that" complaints. Wrong half the time.

(But only half the time.)

I think Nathan Lane can easily look as wild-eyed as this:

But Lane is not as sexy as Raul Julia, certainly.

I thought RJ's Gomez was madcap enough, and waaaay sexier than John Astin. But I love Nathan Lane so much.
